Handwritten Thank You Letters Move You Forward: The Secret Weapon Nobody Uses 6:06

hace 15 días6:06

6:06

Handwritten thank you letters set you apart —but only send them for roles you actually want . Don’t bother writing one if you had a weird vibe, didn’t connect, or just aren’t excited. If the company, manager, role, or pay feels right— go the extra mile . Keep it short, safe, and strategic. This isn’t a place for emotion or storytelling. The goal? To show appreciation, reinforce interest, and subtly remind them you’re the solution to their needs. Handwritten Thank You Letter Template: Dear [Interviewer's First Name], Thank you for your time and insight into the [Job Title] role. After getting to know you, the team, and the mission here at [Company Name] , I am convinced that my experience in [Your Area of Expertise] will help advance your mission. Sincerely, [Your Name] Handwrite it (not an email). Don’t go longer than the template. Use your handwriting, even if it’s not perfect—authenticity matters. Drop it in the mail within 24–48 hours after the interview. https://www.jobinterviewexperience.com/feelgood https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-job-interview-experience/id1538223546 https://www.jobinterviewexperience.com/survey…

Power of Positivity: 4 Steps to Transform Your Career 12:20

hace 18 días12:20

12:20

Introduction to Positivity: This year’s focus is on how positivity can transform your personal growth, job search, interviews, and overall career trajectory. Defining Positivity: It’s not just happiness—it’s choosing hope, proactivity, and a solution-focused mindset despite challenges. Benefits in Career Growth: Positivity boosts resilience in a fast-changing work world. It enhances networking, opportunity recognition, and professional development. Job Search Mindset: Reframe rejection as a step closer to the right fit, not a failure. Treat every interview as a chance to refine skills and build confidence. Celebrate small wins (e.g., second-round interviews, resume praise) to stay motivated. Set realistic goals: break the job search into manageable milestones (e.g., 5 applications/day, 1 meaningful conversation/week). Positivity in Interviews: Show confidence (not arrogance) with a can-do attitude and positive language (e.g., “I haven’t done that yet, but here’s how I’d approach it”). Genuine enthusiasm—let employers see your excitement for the role through tone, eye contact, and energy. On the Job: Maintain positivity by seeking solutions, encouraging colleagues, and investing in your growth (e.g., courses, reading, conferences). Small acts of support (e.g., offering help, kind words) build a collaborative environment. Tips to Foster Positivity: Gratitude Journaling: Reflect daily on professional things you’re thankful for. Mindful Habits: Prioritize sleep, exercise, and short breaks to recharge. Positive Network: Surround yourself with uplifting, like-minded professionals. Visualize Success: Picture thriving in interviews or roles to boost focus and confidence. Closing Thoughts: Positivity isn’t a guarantee, but it significantly increases resilience, interview success, and career growth—let’s embrace it together! https://www.jobinterviewexperience.com/feelgood https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-job-interview-experience/id1538223546 https://www.jobinterviewexperience.com/survey…

Career pivots are more common than ever – Nearly 49% of professionals make a major career change, and employers are becoming more open to hiring pivoters. The employer's perspective – While some still see career changers as risky, many companies now recognize the value of diverse experience and fresh thinking. Key factors that make a career pivot successful: Commitment – Show you’ve done the research, taken relevant courses, and built the skills needed. Transferable skills – Clearly explain how your past experience aligns with the new role. Passion & cultural fit – Employers want to see genuine enthusiasm for the industry and company. Biggest red flags to avoid: Speaking negatively about your previous industry or employer. Lacking a clear, strategic reason for the career switch. Failing to connect your past experience to the new job. How to stand out in interviews: Prepare a strong, confident narrative about your career shift. Highlight how your fresh perspective brings value to the company. Show that you’re eager to learn and master their way of doing things. For hiring managers – Companies that embrace career pivoters see innovation, adaptability, and a competitive edge.

Dr. Greg Chasson: Overcoming Perfectionism in Your Job Search and Career 34:10

hace 9 weeks34:10

In this episode, we dive into perfectionism—how it impacts job seekers, employees, and leaders—and explore strategies to overcome its pitfalls without losing its advantages. Our guest is Dr. Gregory Chasson , a board-certified cognitive behavioral therapist, researcher, educator, and author of the new book, Flawed . Dr. Chasson breaks down why perfectionism can be both an asset and a hindrance, explaining how rigid thinking and excessive expectations can lead to anxiety, procrastination, and workplace friction. He introduces the “Emphasis Framework” (A, B, and C), a practical tool for deciding how much energy to give each task, guided by your core values—rather than an all-or-nothing approach that can derail productivity. You’ll also learn how to be genuine about imperfections in a job interview, how to avoid paralysis by analysis, and why resilience and cognitive flexibility matter more than flawless performance. Whether you’re searching for a job, leading a team, or simply aiming to strike a healthier balance between ambition and well-being, this conversation offers real-world insights you can apply today. Key Takeaways The difference between aiming high and getting stuck in rigid perfectionism Why perfectionism often creates anxiety and stalls progress—especially in job hunting How to harness the strengths of perfectionistic traits (e. g., conscientiousness) while reducing the downsides Practical steps from Flawed to cultivate cognitive flexibility, better decision-making, and more balanced expectations Resources & Links Get the book: Flawed by Dr. Gregory Chasson More about Dr. Chasson: gregchasson.com International OCD Foundation: IOCDF.org Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies: ABCT.org https://www.jobinterviewexperience.com/feelgood https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-job-interview-experience/id1538223546 https://www.jobinterviewexperience.com/survey…
